The Tata Nexon will go on
sale in India in October 2017. Months ahead of the vehicle’s official
unveiling, photos of a production-ready unit has surfaced on the web, courtesy
Carwale.
The Tata Nexon is Tata Motors’ take at the booming
sub-4 metre SUV segment. The Tata Nexon is underpinned by the Tata Bolt
and Tata Zest’s platform, which is essentially an upgraded version of the Tata
Vista’s X1 platform. It measures 3,995 mm in length, 1,811 mm in width and
1,607 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,498 mm.
The Tata Nexon’s engine options will include the
1.2-litre Revotron turbocharged three-cylinder petrol unit and an all-new 1.5-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder diesel unit. The petrol model may have a 5-speed
manual transmission, while the diesel model will have a 6-speed transmission.
An AMT option should follow at a later stage, if not introduced right at
launch.
The Tata Nexon is expected to pack features like
projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights, black fender flares,
17-inch alloy wheels, integrated roof rails, LED tail lamps, engine start-stop
button, automatic climate control and tablet-style touchscreen infotainment
system.
